Furqan did not walk the talk and denounced by her own family, Jamal found the turn of events tumultuous. Jamal is now seeking justice and has filed a complaint in police station.
"For my lover, I changed sex. He had promised me that he will support me life-long. I didn't know that he will cheat me. He swindled Rs 2,00,00 lakhs from me for opening factory. I changed sex for him and now I am not able to go to my parents. I have been in a relationship with him for one and a half years and I am seeking justice. I have filed a complaint in police station and they urged me to go to court," said Jamal.
Furqan was in contact with Jamal after moving to Delhi and Jamal sent him money while he was in the national capital, as per Jamal. As the true colours turned out, Furqan was found to be already married.
